    Haha, well some might not like it but... that is what the Internet has become. I'm just not sure this started in 1999, because for a long time before web sites started carrying it, there was Usenet - and it got to be a pretty weird thing sometimes most of the time.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    I actually got caught up in all that, as a patient. A doctor had proscribed Zantac which I was supposed to take for years. Fortunately for me, about 6 months later another doctor intervened and did a test which found the H. pylori. Antibiotic treatment took 2 weeks to fully work. Well, I get...

    Actually, Dr. Goldman said that, according to the article. I just agree with it.

    I did some amateur voice acting for an SC project!

    This isn't on you guys... but CIG. The degradation in the game's frame rates is really noticeable.

    Joined the squadron years ago and just now found this forum, so welcome everybody

    Welcome to TEST, just think of all the free beer you've missed. It's OK though, I think we drank it.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    There is a long list of reference sources at the bottom of the article. The study I'm most familiar with on this topic I'm not even sure if it's listed in that, but it's here: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0160412020312800?via%3Dihub Also, just to be clear, fomite...

    Is this new ARGO leak a cargo or refinery ship? Video

    Yes. There are a lot more ships on that list, and it is annoying when a new ship jumps to the front of the line. I'm just glad I haven't been forced to wait 7 or 8 years for anything... yet. I have a couple/few on my list that might take that long at this rate though.

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    This document (American) describes what is meant by "Gain-of-function" research. It's not quite what you think, and the name itself is not universally accepted. You can read the whole thing but just the top of the page would do it for most people to understand. (this is chapter 3 of the...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    How are you going to fund it, and what shortcuts are you willing to live with? The fastest a vaccine has ever been created before was 4 years, but it normally takes 10 years to make a safe vaccine. There's a lot of Government red tape that has to be navigated too. This time, it took less...

    Coronavirus COVID-19 Thread

    That was a really weird position for the medical community to take, and I think it was due to fear of running out of respirators. The reason I can say that with confidence is that respirator masks have been warn by people working with hazardous materials, including scientists in virology labs...

    Haha! Well, it is mostly bullshit for the sake of bullshit, until it's not. Just like a parent spouting out rules to their kids, and corporate managers, and military officers that do the same. If you want to see why, "reach for the hot stove." I can't argue American politics like an...

    Oh! Oh! Shit, I know. First, you should give a shit sometimes, and sometimes you have to take shit. But taking a shit only happens if you actually flush the toilet. ... my wife used to say that shit to the kids.

    Welcome to TEST! We have regulations too... Beer should be chilled, coffee should be hot... or cold... or lukewarm. Also you must at least be wearing under ware before you turn your camera on - there are some things we just don't want to know.
